On his latest visit home for Memorial Day weekend, Hill and a female friend ventured out on Lake Pontchartrain on a personal watercraft without life vests Sunday night. The two ended up falling off the watercraft in an area of swirling currents near where a major shipping canal runs into the lake.
While the woman survived by grabbing a piling and holding onto it until she was rescued, the 24-year-old Hill, who friends described as a good swimmer, drifted away and disappeared until searchers pulled his body from the water on Monday afternoon, about 17 hours after the accident.
This is a really tragic story and drowning deaths always turn my stomach slightly. May the man rest in peace and condolences to his family.

Michael Scott: A boss's salary isn't just about money, it is about perks. It... for example, every year I get a $100 gas card... Can't put a price tag on that.
Might be my fear of water speaking, but I'd never get on a boat w/o a life jacket.
That women must feel horrible though. It's one thing to have someone die right around you. It's got to be a higher level of grief when you know that person died saving you.

Two things: You can't talk about the best QB's in the NFL unless you talk about Steve McNair. He had a great year last year and no one noticed because the Titans defense was awful. I'm not saying he is Favre or Warner, but at this point he is (to me)
